** Description changed:
I believe the static feedback cursor with Kubuntu is inconsistent with
almost all other Desktops and OSes. This leads new users to believe the
system is stuck or broken when launching an app.
This is a tiny change that give the feedback I believe customers have
come to expect.
How to recreate
===
Click on the Firefox Icon in the panel to launch it.
Watch the cursor show a small presentation to the bottom-right of the cursor
that moves with it.
Why should we reconsider
- Users are taught from convention that feedback from a cursor is good, whereas
a static change is bad. Consider the flipping or spinning hour glass, or the
spinning beach ball. When these are moving, the user is reassured that
something is going on. When these stop moving, they are conditioned that the
results are not good. For this reason, it may be worth reconsidering this
default. I believe all other KDE desktops (such as KDE Neon, Ubuntu Studio,
etc) also default to this.
